Everyone's Dying (Grandma's Drunk Again)

Grandma's drunk again, passed out in her soup

The rats are singin', there's asbestos in the roof

Mr. Perkins in the front yard with his gun

The kids are cryin' as he points it at the sun

I smell pollen where the grass still lives

Standin' on the mezzanine, chokin' on my spit

I still wonder why they live like this

It seems like everyone's dyin'

She killed her husband 'cause he loved her like a whore

They say the flowers grew the day she dumped the corpse

She drowns herself inside her Tylenol and pills

Says she could've been an actress in a film

But I smell pollen where the grass still lives

Standin' on the mezzanine, chokin' on my spit

I still wonder why they live like this

It seems like everyone's dyin'

This town is dyin'

Why are they like this?

God, keeps on lyin'

They'll try to hide it

They're setting fires to the churches tonight

The shadows dance on the wall

Waitin' for the answers to their calls
